Boston (MA) Liberator, "Another Virginia Stampede," November 19, 1858

   ANOTHER VIRGINIA STAMPEDE.––A few days since, six slaves ran away from the vicinity of Parkersburg, Virginia. Their anxious masters who value their lost chattels at $7,500, though making diligent search, have heard nothing of them. They charge their loss upon the interference of free negroes, who are represented as an intolerable nuisance. The slaves, on the other hand, seem to think Virginia white men an intolerable nuisance, and have therefore put the greatest possible distance between themselves and this nuisance. They are wise, if they are black.
